Hello all,
I know a lot of you are in or have completed Master's in Counseling degrees. My eventual goal is to earn a PhD in Counseling, and I am coming to the realization that most Counseling PhD programs formally (or informally) require a Master's degree for admission.
What do Master's in Counseling admissions committees look for in an applicant? What is the difference between what a Master's program looks for and what a PhD program looks for. I assume that research experience is weighed less heavily, and field experience is weighed more heavily... Anything else?
Thank you to all who respond!
